Tunisian Emel Mathlouthi, inspired singer, poet, and highly creative composer, stands directly in line from the great divas of the Maghreb, but has also inherited the legacy of the protest singers of the 60s. With sources and influences ranging from Dylan to Cheikh Imam, she vests her protest songs in the rock and electronic sound of immediacy. One of the figureheads of the 'Arab Spring', she has a voice that spells revolution and freedom.
